“This actuallymay be the story’s ideal
form, since the author’s sonBeau came
to realize that the core of the talewas
the tense relationship between [Marone]
and Lopez. . . . The graphic novel version
provides room to develop this theme.
Yeates’s black-and-white depiction of the
rugged landscape and the hard-bitten
characters is superb. The result
is stunning and richly textured.”
—PublishersWeekly
“[An] interesting tale of range rivalries
turned bloody. . . . Fans of L’Amour’s
stories should enjoy thiswork,
adults or teens.”
